World Premiere of the "Innovation Journey" Play-in-a-Day - Wow!

 


On Wednesday 14 October 2020 the world premiere of the "Innovation Journey" Play-in-a-Day occured during the Galileo Innovation Week in Padova (See  https://www.galileofestival.it/tc-events/contamination-lab-veneto-finale-della-terza-edizione/). Six students of the CONTAMINATION LAB VENETO had bravely volunteered to meet the unknown and met at the Cultural Centre of Padua (See http://www.altinatesangaetano.it/en) at 9 am to prepare for THEIR story at 5 pm in front of perhaps 200 visitors in the audience. We had ONLY THREE HOURS to prepare and the nervousness mounted over time!

We had met in a short Zooom on the preceeding Friday and did cheat a little in that everyone received the play script after that call (See https://innovation-web.eu/act-now-the-innovation-journey-version-2-20201006) and thus had a little time to explore the story they were being asked to present. In addition we decided to use the opportunity and ask Professor Piero Formica to act as "advocatus diaboli" (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_advocate) challenging the ideas the students would come up with.

Quickly moving to Italian as the linqua franca the provided script was transposed into the context of the actors and collaboration challenges and successes continuously experienced LIVE - the pressure of having to perform in the feeling growing steadily.  Instead of focusing on "innovation" in general there were heated discussions on a specific example to use and the team finally decided to chose the innovation of an electrical car with computer/mobile telefony set in a time when there were only horse carriages. Artifacts - there were none. Costumes - there were none. Music and videos - there were none. A live drama "unplugged" where everyone continuously experienced the innovation journey (See also the story of Wow the Mouse and his “REALLY REALLY GOOD IDEA” at https://innovation-web.eu/about) - a story of improvisation and experimentation.


The video now gives a taste of what the result of the journey was and reflects only a small part of the overall experience of the participants. Moving forward this world premiere will go on tour across the EU (EU or other funding success assumed) and then bring all participants together in the London UK Shakespeare Globe Theatre for a multi-day event/festival experimenting with the European innovation story! Our courageous actors will of course form the core of a "self-help" group for all the new actors joining us. In parallel the Play-in-a-Day will be hardened as an opportunity for organizations seeking to develop their leaders.

Roundtable “Improving City Cybersecurity – Accelerating the Sharing of Sensitive Personal Knowledge “- April 21 at 4PM CET

Bild
Dear all, In collaboration with Major Cities of Europe ( https://www.majorcities.eu/ )  this round table  will give us the opportunity for sharing examples on how we could collaboratively change the paradigm about on how to manage cybersecurity threats in a dynamic and effective way. Please contact me at oliver.schwabe@innovation-web.eu if you are interested in participating and I will forward the invite. Background: Daily news about cyberattacks around the world show that City administrations are sensitive targets of phishing, ransomware, malicious viruses etc.  Attacks occur to all our IT systems, sometimes without even us noticing. Managing those threats by being ready to prevent them is a major challenge. Technology solutions, CISOs security officers, national and international official initiatives are essential but not enough. Many CIOs, especially medium / small cities, feel alone in managing these overwhelming issues. Often these attacks succeed with heavy consequences but very

Exploring the Second Innovation Web: The Socialization (Community Building) Archetype

Bild
The second innovation web archetype of relevance is the “socialization web”, which is also called the “community” web. The socialization web archetype is web archetype is a web of relationships which evolves out of the research web archetype as the research and / or innovation crystalizes and begins reaching early stage practitioners / evangelists in organizations. It consists of tangible and intangible exchanges between the researchers and / or innovators, the users, marketeers and product packagers. The research web archetype continues to “operate”. Once the research web has been transitioned to the socialization web archetype, primarily by stabilizing its transition threshold performance and populating the new roles od Marketeer(s) and Product Packager, a new sequence of transactions emerges while the research web continues to “operate”. In a first step we see innovators and users sharing intangible stories with marketeers and product packagers about their experience and th
